Aptly named for its tendency to go limp when picked up and handled, the Ragdoll is probably the most laid back of all cat breeds. They are gentle, affectionate and enjoy laying around the house with their people all day long. If you're looking for a cat to help you relax after a long day's work, the Ragdoll is your breed.

Persian

Another large coated breed, Persians are known for being lazy and the stigma is certainly not a myth. Persians enjoy lounging around the house with their people. Although they may seem to be a fancier cat breed, they adapt quite well to apartment life.

These beautiful cats are well-suited for apartment life and do not need tons of space to run around and play, as they are much more relaxed than many other felines. Because of their independence, they're able to relax alone while you're at work and enjoy your company when you return.

5

Burmese

A devoted lap cat that is also affectionate towards strangers, the Burmese is not known to run and hide from people but instead likes to insert itself into the action around the home in a friendly, calm manner. Decidedly more vocal than some of the other breeds on this list, the Burmese may be chatty and look to strike up a conversation with you whenever it desires. Intelligent and loving, expect your Burmese to snuggle up with you in bed or spend time at your side whenever you're at home.

6

Exotic

Korat

The Korat is ideal for individuals living alone or with their significant other, as they adapt well to apartment life and don't enjoy a busy household.
